Did you ever find the grease was actually causing more buildup over time?

Did that old timer ever say why, or was it just one of those "because I said so" things? I had a guy on a crane crew years ago who swore by scrubbing the hook block with a wire brush every morning before the grease. Drove me nuts at first but after I saw one seized up from dirt and grime I never skipped it again.
